Chapter 1269 She’s Waiting for You

• Both sides of the street gleamed with swanky renovations. High-end stores lined the way, packed with customers. The sort of places that make poor folks take one look and back off.
• On any other day, one glance would’ve had Liu Shiqi turning around. Today, with Mr. Lestrange walking beside her, she finally had some backbone. Even so, she only dared sneak a few extra looks.
• There’s a saying: when your pockets are empty, the bright lights feel a mile high. So even though the orphanage wasn’t far from this glitzy shopping strip, Liu Shiqi never dared to come wander. For her, shopping meant picking cheap clothes off a sidewalk rack—or tagging along with Liu Mei to the produce market. That was her idea of a day out.
